CITY OF VARKOS
Tharos
Varkos’s capital and largest city, standing at the meeting of its two principal rivers and serving as the nation’s governmental, judicial, scholarly, and civic heart.
A Capital at the Confluence
Tharos occupies river terraces, low rises, fertile valley land, and broad transportation corridors at the meeting of Varkos’s two principal mountain-fed rivers.
Large civic spaces are reserved for arenas, public forums, training grounds, debate theaters, gardens, assembly spaces, and the institutions of the Five Seats.
Tested Public Life
Tharos is serious without being grim. Citizens value competence, argument, physical ability, public service, education, craftsmanship, and demonstrated achievement.
Its architecture favors stone, water, strong bridges, open civic space, and restrained Varkstone use in critical structures. The city’s defining question is simple: Does it hold?
